Orion Darby was 14 years old when she first kissed 16 year old Maddox Novak and she thought this was the best night of her life. Yet on her bike ride home she is taken and thrown in the back of a van where she is kept captive for the next 10 years with other girls.
When the girls finally escape nothing prepares them for their new lives and the freedom that comes with it. Yet there is something else that Orion wants more than anything - revenge.
This was a good, dark book and I enjoyed it.
I understood why Orion was so different and I felt bad that she wanted nothing to do with Maddox or his sister, April, who had been her best friend. Neither Maddox or April had given up on finding her but Orion really kept them both at a distance.
I liked that Maddox had never given up and had actually become a police officer to try and find her. It was obvious he still had feelings for Orion but she almost resented him which I was sad about.
It was sad seeing how Orion and the two other girls rescued, Shelby and Jaclyn, each coped with their freedom and how much each of them had their own difficulties with everything. Shelby had her family but they still treated her as if she was a child and had not been through what she had.
I was not really shocked by what Orion ends up doing as there was so much need for revenge in her. I was surprised at the lengths she went to do what she was doing.
The end of the book actually made me sad as I had really wanted Orion to realize that Maddox was truly there for her and his actions really proved it!
